Sixth Khanda

1. The Rik (veda) is this earth, the Saman (veda) is fire. This
Saman (fire) rests on that Rik (earth). Therefore the Saman is sung as
resting on the Rik. Sa is this earth, ama is fire, and that makes Sama.

2. The Rik is the sky, the Saman air. This Saman (air) rests on that
Rik (sky). Therefore the Saman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sa is the
sky, ama the air, and that makes Sama.

3. Rik is heaven, Saman the sun. This Saman (sun) rests on that Rik
(heaven). Therefore the Saman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sa is
heaven, ama the sun, and that makes Sama.

4. Rik is the stars, Saman the moon. This Saman (moon) rests on
that Rik (stars). Therefore the Saman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sa
is the stars, ama the moon, and that makes Sama.

5. Rik is the white light of the sun, Saman the blue exceeding
darkness (in the sun). This Saman (darkness) rests on that Rik
(brightness). Therefore the Saman is sung as resting on the Rik.

6. Sa is the white light of the sun, ama the blue exceeding
darkness, and that makes Sama. Now that golden person, who is seen
within the sun, with golden beard and golden hair, golden altogether to
the very tips of his nails,

7. Whose eyes are like blue lotus's, his name is ut, for he has
risen (udita) above all evil. He also who knows this, rises above all
evil.

8. Rik and Saman are his joints, and therefore he is udgitha. And
therefore he who praises him (the ut) is called the Ud-gatri (the
out-singer). He (the golden person, called ut) is lord of the worlds
beyond that (sun), and of all the wishes of the Devas (inhabiting those
worlds). So much with reference to the Devas.
